Benefits of technology

"The present invention relates to methods and systems for optimizing the distribution of streaming media. The invention uses techniques such as trans-casting, dynamic generated multi-cast architectures, and one-hop gateway servers to efficiently distribute media content to multiple clients with different needs. The invention reduces bandwidth consumption and processing requirements over the network, resulting in savings of bandwidth and faster delivery of media content. The invention also allows for real-time optimization of network bandwidth and processing requirements of the gateways, media sources, and sinks. Overall, the invention provides a more efficient and effective way to deliver rich media content to clients."

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, the techniques reduce the processing bandwidths over the distribution network.

Embodiment Construction

[0035]FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 illustrates a gateway computer 100, and plurality of computer systems 110–150 coupled to each other via a computer network 160. In the present embodiment, a video camera 170 is coupled to computer system 110, and a network appliance 180 is coupled via a wireless network 190 to computer system 150. Computer systems 110–150 are coupled to computer network 160 via network connections 200–240.

[0036]In the present embodiment, computer network 160 is the Internet. In alternative embodiments of the present invention, computer network 160 may be any computer network, such as an intranet, a computer network, a local area network, an internet, and the like. Computer network 160 provides data communication among computer systems 110–150 and gateway computer 100. Data communication may include transfer of HTML based data, textual data, form submissions, plug-in programs or viewers, applets, audi...

Abstract

A method includes polling a first plurality of one-hop gateway serves for available bandwidth and available number of CPU cycles for each respective one-hop gateway server, receiving a request to provide data to a media sink in a desired format, determining a bandwidth requirement and an estimated number of CPU cycles required for servicing the media sink, determining a second plurality of one-hop gateway servers having an available bandwidth greater or equal to the bandwidth requirement and an available number of CPU cycles greater or equal to the estimated number of CPU cycles, determining a one-hop gateway server from the second plurality of one-hop gateway servers appropriate for providing the data to the media sink and configured to receive data in a second format, and transcoding the data from a first format to the second format. An example gateway server and a computer program product usable therewith are also provided.
